Unlimited War
Peter Scholl-Latour makes the difficult to fathom coherence in the area he characterizes as 'the battlefield of the future' in an unparalleled way insightful. He combines crystal-clear analysis with a captivating representation of his personal experiences in the exotic areas where he has been at home for the past fifty years.
Unlimited War is history from the bottom up, from the little man to the political authority figure, a fascinating book about Eastern traditions and Western economic interests, revolutionary Islam and the shaky transatlantic alliance, a look at the reality behind the scenes of media reporting, with reflections on Israel/Palestine, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, Uzbekistan and China. A book that makes many others redundant.
